Best Bet of the Day

MLB: Chicago Cubs ML over Boston Red Sox
12:05 pm ET, Peacock

Chicago has the pitching advantage in the rubber match of this series. Boston’s Kutter Crawford has a 5.45 ERA in 9 starts and leaves a lot of fastballs over the plate. Chicago’s Justin Steele is one of the most underappreciated and undervalued pitchers in the Game. In 16 starts in the first half of the season, Steele accumulated a 2.56 ERA with a 1.06 WHIP. He allowed more than 3 runs in only 2 of his 16 starts, giving up no more than 1 run in 9 of those starts. Steele has not thrown more than 1 inning in the last 10 days, so is very well-rested too. Check out our full Red Sox vs Cubs predictions.
